Flies buzz, spiders weave, water drips and animals root desultorily in the barnyard of a collective farm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when the charismatic Irimias - long-thought dead - returns, the villagers fall under his spell. Irimias sets about swindling the villagers out of a fortune that might allow them to escape the emptiness and futility of their existence. He soon attains a messianic aura as he plays on the fears of the townsfolk and a series of increasingly brutal events unfold.","brand":"Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823248150608,"sku":"9781788166355B","price":8.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781788166355-l.jpg?v=1785891458","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/satantango-9781788166355b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
